[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 50122, member: 1514"] Ok...sitting here trying to formulate a response...lol. I know how you feel. I know why you side with your son. I can also tell you EXACTLY why the therapist said what they said. I can also tell you why they are pushing buttons right now. See...I had this explained to me when my son was nearing the end of his placement in his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and I couldnt figure out why they were being so irritating and mean and downright...instigating to Cory over what appeared to be the smallest little things. It was like they actually tried to provoke him! In reality they were doing just that but it really ticked me off! I was ready to go bust heads...lol. I didnt understand why they were doing this but when they explained it to me it made much more sense. They were attempting to see just what it would take to make him blow. Where was his fuse short? What triggers did he still have left? Would he blow up if a peer got in his face? If a staff member did? What if someone said something negative about his momma? His old triggers? What if someone got in his personal space? They do all these things in the safety of therapy and the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) because they can deal with the fallout there. [/QUOTE]
